What does the name mean? I don't see it on his site.

It's chat speak, clearly. OMG = oh my god. Pop is popular and happy.

It could also have been JAMLOL or KTHXBBQ, though http://ohai.com is taken by another company I'm looking forward to tracking.

Thanks for pointing out ohai.com. These types of start-ups are definitely worth tracking; I have a hunch they'll do very well. They provide a much more immersive and meaningful experience than MySpace, and also provide incentive (points) for coming back. On top of that, no registration is required to get started.

On the other hand, it's basically Yahoo Games repackaged for a younger, hipper audience... not exactly innovative.
